Choose Your Energy Supplier
As a Maryland resident, you have the option to choose who supplies your electricity.
Maryland is an energy choice state where customers can choose their electricity and natural gas providers. Some suppliers regularly offer rates and service that are 10% or more cheaper than the utility company.
If you have questions about switching, the Energy Supplier Help Desk is a partner with the Energy Supplier Reform Coalition in Maryland. The tips and information offered are by volunteers who help consumers understand their bills and third-party supplier plans and choices.
If you choose your own supplier, there will be no change in the way your electricity or natural gas will come to your house – it will still be delivered to your home by your local utility company, but you can choose a less-expensive supplier to generate the energy and keep more money in your pocket.
